The Lorewalkers are a faction of Pandaren that want to explore the world to find relics and interesting objects to fill their libraries. The faction is completely optional for players, especially since they won't offer the best gear, but by finding and returning books to them, the player will act out the new stories. They will be a great resource for lore on the Padaren and the continent of Pandaria.

Edit: As of live, the Lorewalkers faction sells no gear. They are also now tied with the archeology of Pandaria.

In the current beta build, you get reputation from completing the story related exploration achievements. You seem to get a base amount of rep of 1920 per completed story achievement. You then get an item in your mail which will send you to Lorewalker Cho. He will then show you the story with a neat cinematic.

As soon as you have completed a few of these achievements (2 or 3, think 2) you get access to one of the dailies. I've only seen one daily so far, which required me to hand in 20 Mogu Archaeology Fragments. These are very easy to obtain on the beta as you collect about 30-40 per digsite.

Reaching Friendly standing also seems to unlock Brann Bronzebeard as a vendor. He sells old Archaeology Fragments for completed Pandaria artifacts. He can also sell you an item which teleports you to the next Pandaria digsite and an item which randomizes your current Pandaria digsites.

Comment by Faowind

If you are using TomTom, put the following into macros. I've tried to separate everything that will fit within one macro into a code block. Note that some zones will have more than one macro. I've also tried to put these into a 'feasible' route that may not be the most effective, but it will get the job done.

I also tried to list them in the order that you visit the zone, in reverse order so that TomTom will go to the most recent addition and then take you through the rest. So, despite how it is listed, you will go:Jade ForestKrasarang WildsValley of the Four WindsDread WastesTownlong SteppesKun-Lai SummitThe Veiled StairVale of Eternal Blossoms

Comment by Zephytoth

when you are returning the scrolls that were mailed to you on successful achievement pops, you can skip all the blabbering Cho does by logging out as soon as you return the quest.eases up the wait time dramatically.that is, if you dont like the lore.

Comment by Ghstface

Kinda confused, you don't need the 2nd profession: archaeology, to do their quests to gain rep do you?

Comment by QuickBASIC37

Clicking the totems by each monument does not break stealth/invisibility and they can be clicked while mounted or in Flight Form.

Comment by m4DD0gg

lol done all scrolls and am at 19553/21000 am i missing something?

Comment by Chubbub

same problem for me I am 24 rep of exalted...

Turned in all of the scrolls..

Comment by wacko1

yup 24 rep off exalted ;-(

Comment by Zivy

Shy 24 rep, can not complete "Ballad of Lui Lang" due to a phasing of The Birthplace of Lui Lang. This is really annoying me, too, I want to complete it, but can't.

Edit: Put a ticket in about this issue, but later on that same day, long after I had left the zone, had returned for arch, for the hell of it, I zoomed int to try again to click it before the phasing issue happened & successfully got credit for the achievement & the rep.

Comment by buzzin6

Loremaster Cho is located upstairs of the Mogu'shan Palace in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. 83,29

Comment by kianah

i have the achievement ''Between Saurok and a hard place'' i turned in ALL! the scrolls.. and i am Revered! 20976 - 21000 .. someon please Explain to me how the hell am i not Exhalted. i have handed in ALL the scrolls. Don't have a clue how to get them extra points to get Exhalted! Frustrating the hell out of me this is.

Comment by Depandafactor

Its is do-able without pandaria flying BUT, you still need to be lvl 90 to complete the mailbox-quests you get for every archievement... :(So don't waste your time on completing this without being (near) lvl 90 like I did...

Comment by jburr01369

I, too, was 24 reputation points off exalted (20976/21000). I checked with Lorewalker Cho and found that I only had 8 of the 9 achievements. I was missing "What is Worth Fighting For". As soon as I read the five books in this achievement, the ninth scroll appeared in my mailbox. I turned it in to Lorewalker Cho and achieved exalted status. Make sure you have turned in all NINE scrolls. When you click on Lorewalker Cho, he will have all nine stories listed.

Comment by VoKaL

How do you start getting rep with them? Just from doing the achievements?

Comment by Ovahealz

Finished all scrolls and was 999/999 Exalted. Was Exalted before turning in the last 2 scrolls. Apparently if you're a human and are in a level 25 guild you only need 7 scrolls to get to Exalted. Took me around 2 hours finding scrolls and like 40 minutes listening to the stories. If you're a lore fan you're gonna love them.

Comment by Dkon

There is an addon called "Lorewalkers" on curse. It uses the tomtom addon to guide you to all the locations. It might need some finetuning but it helped me a lot.

Comment by xefibo

Comment by Qoko

Want to make a few small notes to those brave players trying to find all loresites themselves: throughout your levelling and clearing 5 to all questing zones you will find about half of the sites if you pay attention. However, in practice you will still miss a few and especially these are annoying, if you find out you had actually missed one at a particular spot.

There are some rules that may allow you to find sites more quickly:

The races (Mogu/Yaungoil/Saurok/Hozen/Jinyu) have mainly one site at important strongholds of their race, this can but does not have to be a questing hub, daily as well. Hozen & Jinyu sites are also faction related.

The Mantid sites, despite having some relation to questing in the WIlds, are all located in the Dread Wastes.

The burdens of the last Pandaren emperor are all located at very important architectual sites for the Pandaren. Think temples... more temples... you get the idea.

The brewfather shrines are all located on peaks of very high mountains.... no I don't really get this one either.

Possibly the hardest to describe and localize at random is What is Worth Fighting For. In practice, you will pass nearly all if these sites as you progress questing but it ain't as definite as that.

Sums it up basically. Want to make a final note: don't overdo it timewise finding these. Even I didn't locate all of them myself, and even more frustrating is that at times I was at the right place but just missed the shrine: it cannot be helped and I suggest looking up some coordinates if you are stuck on a few more.

Comment by quentine

Paladins turning quests while Divine Shield is on, do not get 5 min debuff.

Comment by dfrolek

I created a pictorial guide with maps from each zone. Color coordinated.Super easy just click on the image and go where the dots are.Will take you MAX 30 minutes to get exalted with them.

Comment by Hedgehog661

When turning in all the scrolls for the rep Cho will make you sit and listen for about a minute or so before you can turn in another...

If you want to cut the story short, you can log out and log back in real quick to end the story and turn in another.

Comment by Thyra

In case you are not interested in the stories during turning in the objects you received, you can simply log off and on. This will shorten it quite a bit, but I can recommend listening to the stories the first time. Interesting stuff!

Comment by Shashos

As of the 5.0.5 hotfix on Oct 5, Brann Bronzebeard is no longer interested in buying these crates. I'm guessing there is another vendor somewhere in the Lorewalkers area that accepts them as well. (At least I hope so! :) )

Comment by Estren

WARNING!

Do NOT try to get the exalted reputation when you're not 90!

Today I tried flying arround with my friend's Touring Rocket, I was on my lvl70 mage.The reputation for the Achievements were awarded correctly, and when I tried to accept the scroll quests it told me "You are not high enough level to start this quest.".

This is very frustrating, there is no hint on the item itself...

Comment by randomwowguy

Part 1 of 2

While following Faowind's coordinates from the main post here - thanks a ton for figuring these out! - I thought I'd describe the locations for people who don't use coords / prefer to find things in the world:

Jade Forest

Between a Saurok and a Hard Place - The Saurok: This on the Windward Isle (The Cloud Serpent dailies isle). If you fly around the foot of the mountain next to Instructor Tong, you'll find the scroll in amongst the Saurok habitats.

Fish Tails - Watersmithing: Look on your map for a place called Moonwater Retreat in the far south-east corner of the zone. In the center of that village is a broken fish statue, where leans the scroll.

Hozen in the Mist - Hozen Speech: Immediately south from the Strongarm Airstrip, in the fields before the Serenity Falls lake are several aqua-colored Hozen statues. The scroll rests against the one closest to the lake.

Legend of the Brewfathers - Xin Wu Yin the Broken Hearted: This is a giant bronze statue on a hill overlooking Thunderpaw Refuge. See "The First Monks" entry below to find the refuge. Xin's hill is the one to the right of the First Monks scroll, it is the hill with the red tree.

The Dark Heart of the Mogu - Spirit Binders: Look on your map for the Terrace of Ten Thunders. Under that text are three structure markers: the scroll is on the upper tier of the middle structure, in a back corner by the mountain.

The Seven Burdens of Shaohao - The Emperor's Burden - Part 1: In Dawn's Blossom there's a crescent-shaped lake near the Flight Master: the scroll is on the pagoda in this lake.

The Seven Burdens of Shaohao - The Emperor's Burden - Part 3: Outside the entrance to the Temple of the Jade Serpent, the scroll is in a little pagoda on the left side of the main staircase.

What Is Worth Fighting For - The First Monks: Imagine a diagonal line on your map between the Tian Monastery and Grookin Hill. You'll notice the mid-point of that line passes close to a lake that lies between two mountain ranges. Hidden here is a place called Thunderpaw Refuge. The scroll is to the right of the building in the walled compound, by a well, under a tree.

Valley of the Four Winds

Ballad of Liu Lang - A Most Famous Bill of Sale: Follow the path up to the top tier of Halfhill, up behind the inn. The scroll is up the stairs on the outer deck of the middle building.

Ballad of Liu Lang - Wondering Widow: Find the Meeting Stone for the Stormstout Brewery, stand with your back to the brewery facing the stone and the scroll is in a little shrine up the grassy bank.

Fish Tails - Waterspeakers: In the center of New Cifera, leaning against the fish statue.

Hozen in the Mist - Embracing the Passions: In Pang's Stead on the left side of the building between a tree and some hay bales.

What Is Worth Fighting For - Pandaren Fighting Tactics: At Paoquan Hollow in the far north-west corner of the map, the scroll is on the back right lakeside corner of Master Bruised Paw's hut.

Krasarang Wilds

Ballad of Liu Lang - Waiting for the Turtle: On the beach to the east of The Incursion is a giant statue of Liu Lang riding a turtle. The scroll is leaning against the rocky base of the statue.

Between a Saurok and a Hard Place - Last Stand: When you're sent to kill Slovan in the cave on the lakeside to the north of Fallsong Village, the scroll is resting in a pile of bones against a rock.

Fish Tails - Origins: Inside the biggest temple-like building in the center of Fallsong Village.

Hozen in the Mist - Hozen Maturity: Find Nayeli Lagoon on your map, in the south of the zone. On the eastern tip of the southern-most landmass at the lagoon is a cave next to a fallen Mogu statue. The scroll is in the back of this cave.

Legend of the Brewfathers - Quan Tou Kuo the Two Fisted: At the inn at Zhu's Watch, stand with your back to the inn at the base of the stairs and look out of town. You'll see a small mountain directly ahead with a marked path leading up the side. The object you seek is a big stone statue partially carved from the hillside.

The Dark Heart of the Mogu - The Lost Dynasty: On your map, find the Ruins of Dojan. To the north of this text is a symbol that looks like a lake on a small hill. The scroll is leaning against a bronze statue in some bushes in the north-west corner of the broken wall surrounding the lake.

The Seven Burdens of Shaohao - The Emperor's Burden - Part 4: In the Temple of the Red Crane in the biggest, central building, there are two stairways at the back that lead to the upper tier. The scroll is leaning against a crane-shaped gong.

Scroll around for Part 2...

Valley of Emperors - Kun-Lai Summit: Enter the Tomb of Conquerors, go down the main staircase to the altar in the first room you come to. The scroll is leaning against the altar.

Dread Wastes

Between a Saurok and a Hard Place - The Deserters: Find the Lake of Stars on your map and notice the section of the Serpent's Spine that is drawn cracked on the map. Trace a line from this crack directly to the lake and the scroll is on the lakeshore there, leaning against a rock.

Heart of the Mantid Swarm - Amber: To the east of Kor'Vess in the area known as The Horrid March is a huge tree, with a doorway cut in the front. This leads into The Amber Vault and the scroll is in the back of this area, leaning against a familiar Mantid statue/totem.

The Veiled Stair

Between a Saurok and a Hard Place - The Defiant: When you take a boat ride with Brewmaster Boof and Egg Shell, from the far north of the the Veiled Stair to Kun-Lai Summit, you pass through a long narrow cave called The Ancient Passage. If you open your map when you're in this sub-zone, you'll see a lake off to the north-east. Head towards that lake, through the twisting passages of the cave. When you enter the room with the lake, the scroll is to your right, one quarter of the way around the bank.

Good luck in your travels and don't forget to check your mail when you're done! Thanks again to Faowind for finding the more obscurely placed scrolls.

Comment by jd234

Mega-thanks to whoever figured out these coordinates in the first place. I wouldn`t have found these without their work. But with no decimal places most coordinates I found were quite inaccurate, and suffered from some serious rounding issues. As a result I wasted a bit of time looking around for more than a few of them. So, I started taking notes while doing this, and here`s my humble improvment, including a few notes for ones I found particularly confusing.

After doing each achievment, you get a quest in the mail to complete to rep grind. Happy trails.

Thanks to Notfur, for improving the macro.

Comment by Relios

One scroll won't appear for me, unless Moon Lai is in his starting position at Stoneplow. I saw it, but was just too late getting to the house before it disappeared.If you've already gone through the quests involving Moon Lai, you won't see the scroll unless someone else is at Moon Lai starting their quest string.Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone have a suggestion to get the scroll? (btw, I've already tried relogging and also shutting the game down and restarting, same result each time.Thanks

EDIT: I tried this again a few minutes ago. As I approach the house, I can see the scroll, but when I reach the ledge, it disappears. Tried it about 6 or 7 times to make sure and same result every time.

Comment by DarkDei7

Loggin out and back again let you cancel the Storytime effect as well as Enter in the dungeon below will do the same.Ice block if mage,or divine shield if Paladin.

I would like to understand why are u down voting this comment :)

Comment by Cydonian212

For those that are confused (like I was at first), you do not get the reputation by clicking on the artefacts you find. You get reputation by finishing achievements (ie, finding all the lore artefacts related to an achievement) so don't get discouraged! Completing achievements will, however, only get you to Revered (or high Honoured, depending on your race, guild etc) so check your mail!With every achievement completed you will receive an item from Cho that starts a quest. When you return it to Cho, you will get to hear an interesting story related to it. Turning in all of these scrolls will get you to Exalted.

The whole thing can be completed within a few hours thanks to all the coordinates people posted here ^^

ETA: I also find it strange that archaeology doesn't contribute to their reputation (not even when you complete a Pristine project and put it on display) but I guess this whole faction was made mainly with the intent of learning the lore of Pandaria irregardless of whether you do archaeology or not.

Comment by Rodjin

For those who may be wondering about exalted status on multiple characters:

The achievements for Lorewalkers is shared account wide, the rep is not.You will have to revisit every location per character you want to become exalted with.The objects do not glow the second time around like they did the first time. (Thanks Katosjoes for pointing out the update)

Comment by Danalicious

Thank you guys for posting, and THANK YOU SO MUCH to Faowind! I went from neutral to exaulted in 1.5 hours, I downloaded TomTom just for your coords and those macros made it so easy... perfect for a hangover day :)

Comment by ron4164

Exalted with Lorewalkers and Archaeology at 600. No tabard of flying disc in Brann's inventory to buy!MAD! GRRRRRRRR

Comment by Kragtiki

When you turn in the quests at the end,

if you have multiple ones to turn in at the same time you would have to wait for Cho to finish his stories.

To Bypass this, simply walk out of the room, mount up and fly into Mogu'Shan Palace, which is right below Cho's room.

Zone in, zone out, and Cho will have finished his story, repeat until all your quests are turned in !

Comment by Zylostout

I found quite a few lore objects while questing. Then I couldn't figure out how to see which ones I had found and which ones I hadn't.

To see which ones you have already found look in Achievements in the Exploration > Pandaria section. There is an achievement for each one of the stories.

Comment by Zylostout

I took the lists by Faowind, jd234 and Notfur and consolidated the story and scroll names. That let me skip the ones I had already found while questing.

This helps you ALOT faster and you dont have to pause or look for the next destination.

Comment by MyledTheCrawl

i was stuck at 24 rep shy of exhalted and was pulling my hair out trying to figure out where the extra rep was. turns out one of the scrolls was looted by an alt. just look through the achives and do the ones that arent checked.

Comment by doublehamm

For those of you with only 20976/2100 rep - which seems to be very common - DO NOT FORGET the node in the Veiled Stairs ("The Defiant") for "Between a Saurok and a Hard Place". This does not show up on some of the most popular guide maps, but DOES show up in the description. I too was confused as to why I was 24 rep shy because I swore I did this correctly. After going back through all the achievements, and even though they all showed as complete to me (I did them on my main first), there definitely was one missing in the "Between a Saurok and a Hard Place" achievement.

Comment by ordoz

ok, well im 24 rep points from exhualted as well and i have done all the acievments listed. I also did the bookshelf quest he gives you and cant seem to get those last 24 points. Any help would be appreciated

Comment by ordoz

Not sure if it posted, cus i dont see it. Im 24 points from exhualted rep with the Lorewalkers as well, and ive done all the achievments and the bookshelf quest as well. Im stuck at24 points shy, is there anything else im missing?

Comment by asp5525

Anyone know why i only have around 50 points left and im still not exalted with the lorewalkers yet i did all acheivments and the extra 1 2 but that 1 didnt give rep plz help

Comment by nathanlayt

Awesome guide mate. Love the seperate guide for zones

Comment by trusbasass

I dont get it. I completed all these achievements (they are 10) but Iam half-way to Honored only. Where is the problem? Also completed all available quests at the Bronzebeard.

Comment by zysis

If you want a simple way to do this, One Man's Trash... and Riches of Pandaria you simply need to get Xhinhuan's addon Handy Notes, Handy Notes Lorewalkers and Handy Notes Lost and found. Ingame you then go to handy notes options and under plug-ins you will see Lost and Found, select that and uncheck Achievement Only and you are good. ALL the points will be marked on your map, and you can get all of the Lost and Found stuff done while doing Lorewalkers, it will also not show completed ones. One more tip is that the treasure chest marked in the ocean for Jade Forest is NOT where the mark is, but at the very south of the map inside a half-sunken ship. These are a must for any avid Altoholic who wants the huge gold that lost and found gives, while getting lorewalkers. Even if the mount is shared, you still need to fill that rep bar! Happy Hunting!

Comment by mismage

I have turned in all the scrolls, i still have two bars left till i am exhalted with the lorewalkers what else do i have to do?

Comment by Pops715

When I first traveled around on my Blood Elf DK reading the scrolls, they were each bathed in a glowing light. I am currently doing the same thing with my Gnome Warlock on another server and the scrolls are no longer glowing. Does anyone know why this is?

And before anyone says anything, yes, I already have the Disc of the Red Flying Cloud. But I want the Lorewalker's Lodestone for my Warlock.

Comment by Calentor

It shows a number on the main map and minimap with the locations of all of the sites. It will show only the ones that you still require, as well as giving you the name of the achievement to which it relates.

It doesn't require any other add-ons (apart from the core Handy Notes) or manual data entry.

Comment by holdwine

I completed a couple of these achievements on another character before starting to work on reaching Exalted on my main. Needless to say, you cannot split the achievements and reach Exalted with the Lorewalkers. Also, with account-wide achievements, make sure when looking at what you have left to complete that you look at all of the achievements carefully. It may look like you completed it, because you did on another character, but in fact you may need to fill in some blanks. I got to about 6000 rep shy of Exalted and thought I'd completed all the necessary achievements; I sat there stumped for the longest time before thinking to check and make sure I'd actually completed all the achievements on the character I was currently playing and not just on any character.

Comment by miroku64

thanks randomwowguy i would never have found all the scrolls and i don't have tom tom so great directions. Just got my flying disc today thanks

Comment by bruuh

Do the achievements, and then use one of the scrolls to get you to revered.Buy the Grand Commendation of the Lorewalkers, and THEN use the rest of the scrolls.

Doing this will get you to exalted.

Comment by polarwind

At Friendly, you will be able to speak to Brann Bronzebeard and purchase crates of old-world fragments ( Crate of Dwarven Archaeology Fragments) if you have max level archaeology.

This is false, you can purchase the crates from Brann at neutral.

I am Neutral 0/3000 with the Lorewalkers and I have been buying crates from Brann since before I was even 90, you DO have to have your Archaeology to 600 before you can do this though.

Comment by twal

The entrance to reach "Heart of the Mantid Swarm - Amber" scroll in Dread Wastes is at the same tree as the Sunset Brewgarden, but on the opposite side.

Comment by Knekten

Advice for doing this with TomTom, if you start at the eastern part of the zone, start with the highest number in the first digits, and if the western start with the lowest number. For example (80,20) you start at the eastern part, and (20,30) you start at the western.

Comment by zexoo

Between a Saurok and a Hard Place - The Defiant - is in the Ancient Passage at 77-95 at the back of the circular part of cave

Comment by Papersmith

For all that is holy...stop turning in scolls as soon as you hit Revered, go buy the Commendation of the Lorewalkers and then resume turning in scrolls. Don't be like me and wind up at 20,976

Comment by Kopaka99559

Definitely one of the easiest Exalteds you're gonna get. Took me about 1 hour.

Comment by Magpie5039

Hey guys, just thinking about the time ive spent in this game & reading threads like this make me appreciate people who take time to advise others on PITA stuff like this, thanks a lot, you are a real help ;)(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##hatman555##DELIM##

Comment by scionix

If you're stuck at revered and you don't know why then check your mailbox, check your bags, check your bank...if all that fails then submit a "recover lost items" ticket cause you may have deleted one of the scrolls that starts a quest you need.

Comment by Gitarookefka

You must be able to fly to reach them in general. Cannot start with them early unless someone flies you

Comment by lilrex

I have found some of the pieces but my rep is still nutral, does finding these not give rep anymore?

Comment by CrockettMaster

Without Human Perk and Guild PerkYou get 1920 rep per achievement and 2850 rep per quest, totaling 4770 rep. You will need to do 9 out of the 10 achievements.With the commendation, each achievement will give you 3840 rep, and each quest will give you 5700 rep, totaling 9540 rep. This means, starting at 0/3000 Neutral, you'll only need to complete 5 out of the 10 achievements to get exalted.

With either perkYou get 2112 rep per achievement and 3135 rep per quest, totaling 5247 rep. You will need to do 9 out of the 10 achievements, as you'll be 24 rep short of exalted if you do 8.With the commendation, each achievement will give you 4224 rep, and each quest will give you 6270 rep, totaling 10494 rep.This means, starting at 0/3000 Neutral, you'll still need to complete 5 achievements out of the 10 achievements, as you'll be 24 rep short of exalted if you do 4.

With both perksYou get 2304 rep per achievement and 3420 rep per quest, totaling 5724 rep. You will need to complete 8 out of the 10 achievements.With the commendation, each achievement will give you 4608 rep and each quest will give you 6840 rep, totaling 11448 rep.This means, starting at 0/3000 Neutral, you'll only need to complete 4 achievements out of the 10 achievements to get exalted.

In case of confusion, the 10th achievement I am referring to is Legend of the Brewfathers. The other 9 are the achievements with the same icons, not including the 5.2 added ones. And please note that Legend of the Brewfathers does not give you a quest once completed.

Comment by Conditioned

If you like me are totally uninterested in lore you can logout after having turned a quest. You can then log in and won´t have to listen to him talking.

Comment by Mods

Please do not forget to buy the Lorewalkers Commendation as soon as you become revered with them. It gives you extra bonus points and will not leave you 24 points short of exalted status like me because I forgot to buy it.

If you manage to get yourself into the same situation that I did, there are another three quests to be completed on the Isle of Thunder ie:- three more sets of lore scrolls to collect.

Good luck. :)

There are new places in the Isle of Thunder. Here are the TomTom waypoints by achievement.

Comment by Reubenn

Not sure if posted but if you get the Commendation when you turn revered, you are at exalted with the Lorewalkers well b4 you turn in all your quests.

Comment by jemaris

With the bonus rep from the commendation already bought on another realm / character... I can confirm that after collecting all the items I only needed to hand 2 quest items in to hit 999 Exalted on my alt.

Comment by alxndr

It's official: Loremaster Cho is a real windbag. If you plan to turn in the quests associated with completing each of these collections, expect to sit a while between each one waiting for Cho to finish rambling about the one you just turned in, since each one invokes a "Storytime" from him.While I don't mind the stories, it would be nice if they weren't forced on me just by turning in a quest, with no option to skip past them.

Comment by Aurorasflame1

After turning in all the scrolls, I am 23 points shy of being exalted

Comment by SgtFrog

Oy, look at all these Walls of Text...

Comment by Amallah

For players using TomTom along with coordinates posted here: Make sure you take a good look around the area close to the coordinates, as some of the waypoints might be slightly off for you in relation to the coordinates.

Comment by Swarovsky

Lore achivements on Thunder isle also helps to gain Lorewalkers reputation and them are much easier to find. Hope this helps.

Comment by Neifel

Turning in one of the quest items you get in your mailbox to Lorewalker Cho grants you the Storytime debuff. If you are handing in all of the quest items at once, you can get rid of the debuff by running out of the room to the balcony outside.

Makes things a quicker if you don't feel like listening to the stories.

Comment by DexterWard

How can i get some rep to get the disc mount ? Im 100 and skipped this faction because of leveling,im low on rep.

Comment by NeetuDolly

A lot of people mentioned "FISH TAILS" when its actually "FISH TALES". Took me a while to find it with search :)

Comment by missbanjo

If you're turning in all the scrolls at once like me. Just run outside and Cho stops talking so you can turn in the next one.

The Lorewalkers

Gaining reputation with The Lorewalkers is an unusual process. Instead of completing dailies or zone quests like most other Pandaren factions, players gain reputation by visiting monuments, completing achievements, and hearing folktales. If you have an organized path in mind, hitting Exalted should only take a few hours with a flying mount!

As the keepers of Pandaren culture,The Lorewalkers go hand-in-hand with the spirit of Archaeology. The unusual reputation grind fits the nature of these cultural librarians, and reputation rewards enhance this profession. Check out Wowhead's article on archaeology changes here!

Each monument in Pandaria is tied to an achievement. Upon visiting all the monuments for an achievement, you will be mailed a scroll that begins a quest. Both completing the achievement and turning in the scroll to Lorewalker Cho will give reputation. Turning in all the scrolls will net you Exalted.

When you turn the scroll in, Lorewalker Cho will automatically reenact a story for you that sheds light on Pandaren lore. You can hear these stories again anytime by talking to Lorewalker Cho.
